40 Days of Thankful Living

Monday, October 31

I Am Thankful for Unseen Good

Chances are that ghosts and all sorts of scary creatures will appear at your door tonight, but this won’t upset you. You know that behind the frightful appearances are wonderful children, God’s gifts. All dressed up you might not recognize the child, but you don’t let the costume hide the goodness that is there.

Use this same approach throughout this day. If the mask of ugliness is distorting your view of people and things, look for the beauty. If you see lack, uncover the prosperity underlying every situation. Look beyond the appearances and, with gratitude, receive the unseen good God has for you.

Thank you, God, for the many forms in which my good comes to me.
